☆ The Legend of Lampard ☆
There have always been different opinions about Lampard, the deputy commander of the Blue Army, and it is useless to count them. The only certainty is that Frank Jr. has written his name into the history of Chelsea: Chelsea players with hats (representing his country) scored the most goals in the Premier League, played the most times in European competitions (67 games), played the longest consecutive time in the league (65,438+064 games), played the most official games in a single season (62 games) and played 65,438+in 2008.
Looking at these quiet expressions, even people who don't like Lampard have to admit that he is an iron man. Iron will is the most appropriate way to describe Lampard. The East Londoner, who likes to play and is not tired, is Chelsea's longest player in the Premier League this season-2653 minutes, 30 games, Lampard only missed 47 minutes! If you know more about Frank's life, you will definitely agree that this guy is the best among tough guys. He is Rambo on the football field. Mourinho, his mother, his fiancee, these people who are very important to him, are all out of his life, but he still grits his teeth-and his performance is as always.
childhood
Lampard and old Lampard.
On June 2 1978 and 2 1 day, a young father pointed to his infant son and said to the nurse, "My child will become the most famous player in England one day." The nurse said disdainfully, "Really, can he sign it for me now?"
If the nurse remembers the surnames of the father and son 27 years ago, she will feel deeply sorry, because the baby who couldn't even cry at that time has grown into a flag of English football. He is Lampard.
Lampard comes from a football family. He inherited his father's football talent and his name. After he became famous, people put an old saying in front of his father frank lampard. Old Lampard is also an excellent football player. He was selected for the England national team twice. 1967- 1985 played for West Ham, scored 22 goals in 660 appearances and won the FA Cup twice for West Ham. He is one of the most famous left-backs in the history of the Hammers. Lampard's uncle is more famous, that is, the current Tottenham Hotspur coach Harry Redknapp. Lao Lei is one year younger than Lao Lan. They are teammates of 15 West Ham United. 1994-200 1 season, Old Lampard assisted Old Ray in coaching West Ham United. He devoted his entire coaching career and player career to West Ham United.
So, when little Lampard was a toddler, old Lampard took his son to West Ham Stadium. His father said to his son, "This stadium is your future stage." But at that time, little Lampard didn't know what football was. I fell asleep on the court after playing happily for a few minutes!
With such a family background, Lampard Jr. naturally started his football career from West Ham United, and he became a member of the club's youth training as an apprentice in 1994. In fact, Lampard has been studying very well. He graduated from Brentwood Middle School and was in the same class as TV celebrity and supermodel Marsh. In the 12 exam in middle school, Lampard got an A in Latin and his IQ exceeded 150. But for football, he gave up his career as a lawyer and politician.
1994-95 season, Lampard officially started his career. At the age of 65,438+06, Lampard signed his first professional contract with West Ham. However, his first club was inevitably suspected of "going through the back door" because he "happened" to meet his uncle Redknapp when he joined West Ham United. Fans should be familiar with this name. Redknapp and his son are famous father and son soldiers in English football. Old Redknapp has coached Southampton, Portsmouth and Tottenham. Although Xiao Lei is over 30 years old, he was selected for the national team 17 times when he was young. In 2008, Redknapp Jr. was appointed as Chelsea reserve team coach. However, despite the care of his uncle, Lampard, like most players, was first loaned by the club to a lower-level league for exercise. His first stop was Swansea City. From 65438 to 0994, Lampard was loaned to Swansea City in League One. The first official game of my career took place on10.7, Swansea against Bradford. The loan time of just three months is fleeting. The first answer given by Lampard was that he started 10, came off the bench twice and scored 1. For a teenager who is only 17 years old, it is already a good result. But at that time, many fans thought that young Lampard entered the first team because of his nepotism with head coach Lao Lei and assistant father, so they abused him, "You can only play because of your uncle and father." This should be a devastating blow to the children who just started out, but Lampard didn't think so. He just calmly did it himself.
1996 1, Lampard returned to West Ham after his loan career. It wasn't long before he made his debut in the Premier League. 1June 365438+1October 3 1 day, Lampard wore a red and blue shirt against Coventry. However, things are not going well. 1On March 5th, 997, Lampard broke his right leg against Aston Villa, ending the rest of his sophomore season ahead of schedule. Coupled with unsatisfactory career development, his career suffered the first major setback. It was not until the 1997-98 season that Lampard scored his first league goal. West Ham played Burnley away and Lampard scored the second goal, which sealed the victory for the team.
By 1998-99, Lampard had played 38 league games. ...
From 65438 to 0999, Lampard had a brief close contact with the England national team, but on the eve of the European Championship, he failed to win the trust of kevin keegan and was voted out by the English adult national team. Thankfully, Lampard then participated in the final stage of the European Youth Championship under U2 1 as the captain of the England national team.
As Lampard's first mentor, Lao Lei believes that diligence is the most important reason for his cousin's success. "Everyone else has gone home, but Frank will go back to the training ground to practice alone in the afternoon. He will practice shooting, put on spikes and sprint. He wants to get ahead, which is why he becomes a top player. You tell a million children to practice hard and play hard, and they will say,' OK, OK.' But they lasted about two days and then forgot. But Frank will stick to it. He has such a strong will. "
There is a classic dialogue between Lampard and his son. Old Lampard asked young Lampard: "I read in the newspaper the other day that all the players have finished training." Why do you still run laps? " Little Lampard replied, "Dad, do you know? There happened to be a party the day before, and I need to sweat. "
00-0 1 season, West Ham United sold Lampard's good friend Rio Ferdinand to Leeds United, and his father and uncle Lao Lei also left the team. Lampard suddenly felt frustrated and chose to pack his bags, but he stayed in London-it happened that Chelsea coach Ranieri was very fond of him. Not long after, Ranieri, who is more talented than the coach, won 165433. Petit, who was still the main midfielder in the French national team at that time, Zenden, who was sharp-edged in the Dutch national team, Jokanovic, an old Yugoslav international, Stanic, a Croatian star, and Glenshire, a Danish teenager who came with the same hope as Lampard. But after three seasons, only Lampard was left among them. After Abramovich took over the Blues, Cerschi's cleansing campaign continued. Now there is no "veteran" fighting alongside Lampard, only Lampard, who not only stayed, but also became the soul of Chelsea. As the saying goes: the sea is crossing, and the true colors of heroes are revealed.
Become an iron man
When he came to Stamford Bridge, Lampard felt at home. Ranieri is like a kind father. He chose Lampard, the first English player to be signed by an Italian coach. Lampard thanked Ranieri. "I love this person. If it weren't for him, I might not be where I am today. He brought me to Chelsea, improved my game and let me know the other side of football. " On the other hand, Lampard refers to mainland football, and Ranieri turned him from a West Ham boy into a new generation of English midfielders who are familiar with the style of mainland football. In Lampard's view, Ranieri coached Chelsea for five years (2000-2004), and the Blues kept the top four in the league. Ranieri promoted Terry to captain and bought key players such as Gallas and Cech, paving the way for the subsequent success of the Blues.
Lampard himself has a proud record to dedicate to his mentor: consecutive 164 Premier League appearances. From the home game against Leicester on June 3, 2006, 5438+0, 10, to the game against Fulham on February 26, 2005, after three complete Premier League seasons in 2002-05, Lampard made 164 consecutive Premier League starts until 2005. However, his record is ahead of the second James (now Portsmouth goalkeeper) 159 games.
Old Redknapp admitted that he didn't expect his nephew to do this at first. He thinks that James' goalkeeper position is conducive to maintaining the record of continuous appearances, but Lampard has created a new myth. "The midfield is a very difficult position. You can eat cards, get suspended, and get hurt easily. More importantly, Chelsea is a team that uses rotation more than any other club. " There is something special about Lampard's ability to achieve such amazing league results. First of all, he was not injured. Lampard broke a leg at the age of 18, and suffered several injuries during his time at West Ham United. However, since he came to Stamford Bridge, he has not been seriously injured. In the 2003-04 season, he was once troubled by toe pain and insisted on undergoing surgery until the end of the season. Lampard himself said: "I can stay healthy, on the one hand, because I am lucky, on the other hand, because I am smarter at playing football. I no longer do stupid and impossible tackles, and I will deliberately avoid tackles."
Lampard really pays attention to the discretion of fouls. Apart from a red card at the beginning of joining Chelsea, he has only received 18 yellow cards in the domestic arena for more than four years. Of course, luck is also very important, because he got the fifth yellow card in the league when he visited Anfield in June 2005. He should have been suspended for one game, but Lampard avoided the suspension of the Premier League because the next game happened to be the FA Cup.
Ranieri once boasted many times in his autobiography about the "hero" who saved the team: "No one else can keep Superman calm at the most critical moment, and as always, appear in the position where he is most needed and complete the fatal blow." Former coach Jose Mourinho put it simply: "Lampard is the best midfielder in the world." The current coach Scolari put it this way: "Frank will give you anything you need. He is a real man and part of the history of this club. "
As a simple and comprehensive midfielder, Lampard's ball control skills can't be compared with Zidane at the peak, his football talent can't be compared with Ronaldinho, and his speed can't be compared with Robben, but in a word, he is the most comprehensive: efficient interception, sharp forward insertion and long-range shooting, simple dribbling and reading ability of the game are all displayed incisively and vividly in a simple and practical performance.
England's "Daily Telegraph" once commented on Lampard: After Zidane and Nedved quit the national team one after another, there are very few excellent midfielders like Lampard. England coach Eriksson also said: "He is an excellent defender, a master of interception, good at ball control and passing, and can score goals. For a midfielder, you can't ask for more. He can do almost anything! "
The most respected Jose Mourinho left.
Lampard and Mourinho.
The 2003-04 season was the year when Lampard began to make a leap in his career. His Premier League goal broke through double digits for the first time: 10. With 4 goals in the Champions League and FA Cup 1 goal, the number of individual goals in the season reached 15. Ranieri, who finally won the runner-up in the league and the semi-finals in the Champions League, was fired by his boss Roman Abramovich, and champion coach Mourinho came to Stamford Bridge. It was also under the leadership of Mourinho that Chelsea and Lampard were promoted rapidly. Mourinho injected team spirit into this dynamic and championship-hungry team, and also made Lampard the vice captain of the team, which made him reach his personal peak.
Mourinho's 4-3-3 winger tactics objectively achieved Lampard, and center Drogba resisted the first point of the front line. Lampard, who has a wide range of activities in the middle, has actually become the main scorer, and his long-range shooting and set-pieces skills have been fully demonstrated. In the 2004-05 season, Lampard scored 13 in the Premier League, 19 in various competitions and 16 in assists. Lampard helped Chelsea win the Premier League and the Carling Cup, and he was named England Footballer of the Year by the Professional Football Journalists Association. The following year, the Blue Army successfully defended its title, and the vice captain of the team set a personal high of Premier League 16 goals, which was promoted step by step for five consecutive years and scored 20 goals in the season. Unfortunately, he lost to Ronaldinho in two competitions for the highest honor in world football.
Lampard was captain for most of the 2006-07 season because of Terry's back injury. In the 3-2 victory over Everton this season, Lampard scored the seventh goal in eight games, which is also the 77th goal of Chelsea, replacing Wise as the most scored midfielder in Chelsea. In the end, he scored 265,438+0 goals in various competitions, including 6 FA Cup goals-in the previous 65,438+065,438+0 years, he only scored 7 FA Cup goals; On June 6, 2007, Lampard scored his first hat-trick since joining Chelsea against Maxwell Field.
In the 2007-08 season, Lampard also began to be affected by injuries, playing only 24 games, which was his lowest record since the 1996-97 season, and also ended the record of playing at least 3/kloc-0 times in the Premier League in the 10 season. On February 6th, 2008, Lampard became the eighth player to score a 100 goal for Chelsea in the FA Cup against Huddersfield. After the game, he took off his jersey and showed the fans a special T-shirt, which read: "The goal is endless, just for you, thank you!" To his disappointment, shortly after the start of the season, Mu Shuai left without telling him because he had an argument with Abramovich, which caught him off guard.
His mother, who loved him the most, left.
Lampard and Mama Lan.
It never rains but it pours. Lampard's favorite coach is gone, and so is his favorite mother. On April 24th, 2008, Pat, a 58-year-old mother, died 10 days after fighting pneumonia. In the meantime, Lampard did not play in the Premier League games against Wigan and Everton, so as to stay at his mother's bedside. He only played in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Liverpool. The second round was held on April 30th, just a week before Pat died. Because Pat was Lampard's most loyal fan before his death, and she told her son to play the game well, Lampard, who should have been in mourning, decided to play for Chelsea.
In the first half of extra time, when Ballack created a penalty, Lampard, the first player of the Blues, stood bravely at the penalty spot without hesitation. Under great pressure, he resolutely punished the penalty into the gate guarded by penalty expert Reina. The next moment is the most touching moment of the whole game: Lampard points his hands at the sky, and he may ask, Mom, have you received my gift? Lampard, 29, took off the black veil on his arm and kissed it on his lips. Whoever loves Lampard the most must have heard his son's call. In the end, Chelsea eliminated Liverpool with a total score of 4-3 and reached the Champions League final for the first time in history. In the final against Manchester United, Lampard equalized the score in the 45th minute, but in the end, the penalty shootout defeat left him speechless. I'm afraid it's the biggest regret in his life that he can't use the Champions Cup to pay homage to his mother's death.
After that, Chelsea tried to keep Lampard all summer, and Lampard was very moved by Mourinho's invitation to Inter Milan. It was not until August of 13 that Lampard renewed his contract with the club for five years and became the highest-paid player in the Premier League with a weekly salary of 15 1 10,000. He said that the main reason why he stayed was his father, and he didn't want to leave his father alone in London. Uncle Ray also advised him to stay, and Lampard was moved by thousands of letters of condolence sent by fans from all teams to Chelsea training base. "This is shocking. There are fans from Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and West Ham. I have read every letter and answered them one by one. "
After coming out of the injury, Lampard began to recover to his best. He scored 5 goals in the pre-Premier League 1 1 round this season, and scored the1000th Premier League goal (including 18 penalty) in the 5-0 victory over Sunderland on October 2nd, 2008. Although there was a goal shortage of 10, he scored three goals in three days in the last two rounds of Boxing Day. June 65438+1October 65438+July 2009, he made his 400th Chelsea appearance against Stoke City and scored the winning goal in injury time. After playing in the Premier League for 29 rounds, Lampard has scored 10 in the Premier League and 15 in the season, which is not far from his personal record. If Chelsea want to continue on the road of Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup, it needs him to make more contributions.
My fiancee is gone, too.
In mid-February 2009, Spanish fiancee Ellen Ribes broke up with Lampard. On a trip to Las Vegas two years ago, Lampard was found to be having an affair with someone by Allen, and then their relationship went from bad to worse. Finally, Ellen couldn't take it anymore and broke up. Recently, they are still bargaining for the breakup fee and alimony. But in love, Lampard is also very efficient. While striving for more opportunities to get in touch with his daughters luna and Ella, he has started dating a mysterious beauty. In early March, Lampard was captured by tabloids many times, and went out with mysterious women, including restaurants and bars, and even went to women's homes for the night. The identity of the mysterious woman was quickly revealed under the tracking and probing of tabloids. This beautiful girl who frequently appears in Oscar, Milan and Paris Fashion Week is called Sass kiya, a fashion designer and amateur model. Saskia was born well, and his father Michael was a successful businessman with a net worth of hundreds of millions. ...
Chelsea > the mystery of the three lions
England's double virtues: Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.
Most people who blow their beards and stare at Lampard accuse the Chelsea vice-captain of not representing the club. Compared with the smooth sailing of the club, Lampard's national team career is much bumpy. He was selected by peter taylor on 1997 and scored 9 goals, second only to Shearer and jeffers. 1999 made his first appearance for the English senior team. It was a 2-0 victory over Belgium, but he missed the European Cup in 2000 and the World Cup in 2002. It was not until the game against Croatia in August 2003 that he scored his first goal for the national team.
The 2004 European Cup was Lampard's first major competition. He pushed Scholes to the left, scored three goals in four games, helped the team reach the 1/4 final and selected the best team. It should be said that Lampard was very popular at first. In 2004 and 2005, he was voted the best international by English fans for two consecutive years. But it was also his only moment of glory. After the 2006 World Cup, his double-German combination with Gerrard was useless. Usually, as the core midfielders of their respective clubs, both of them are very energetic, but when they arrive at the national team, they are very incompatible. They also missed a penalty in the 1/4 final against Portugal, which led to the team's defeat in the penalty shootout.
In June 2007, 5438+ 10 European Cup qualifier against Estonia, he came off the bench and was booed by English fans. The last European Cup qualifier was lost to Crowe.
Dia failed to qualify, and Shuangde also fell into the lowest valley.
Until the arrival of Capello, the division of offensive and defensive work between Lampard and Gerrard was reasonably arranged, and Germany and Germany were temporarily unified. In the past, both of them refused to do dirty work, but now Lampard is more likely to retreat to help defend, so that England's offensive and defensive balance. But this division of labor is obviously to make Lampard give up his strengths and act as a coolie, so that he can work hard and get along well in a short time. At this rate, there is no guarantee that Lampard will not have an idea. After all, no top star likes to play the role of dancing for others ...

Lampard has signed a new contract with Chelsea chief executive kenyon.
In the summer of 2008, Lampard of Inter Milan, who was once rumored to join Mourinho, officially renewed his contract with Chelsea for five years, and finally ended at Stamford Bridge.
On Wednesday local time, Lampard signed a new contract, which will keep him at the club for 20 14, which means he will play for Chelsea for 13 years. After the rumors surrounding him in the next few months, Lampard talked about the process of completing the signing, and he believes he can do more on the pitch. "So far, I have spent seven wonderful years here, and now I may have another wonderful five years here." Lampard, 30, said.
After his mother Pat died in April, Lampard took time to rethink his life goals, and he received strong support from his family, friends and clubs. This is something he won't forget. "The past few months have been a sad time in my life. Negotiations with Chelsea have been going on for a long time. Because of what happened in my personal life, I suggested to Chelsea to sober myself up for a while, which is understandable because of what happened. " He explained, "I spent a lot of time with my family. I thoroughly thought about what I wanted to do, and then came back for pre-season preparation. " In the past few weeks, since we came back from our visit to China, we have had some conversations. I am glad that we have reached an understanding. I am satisfied because I want to make sure that I have made the right decision. This is an important moment in my career. I just turned 30, so this is my last big contract. I hope he is the right one. "
Regarding the future, his ambition is simple-trophy. Two Premier League titles, especially the first time (2004), are memories I will never forget, and this is what I want to bring back here. Also, we are willing to bring the Champions League champion here. We have experienced such a painful failure. It makes you want to make a comeback. Take it off. "
Now, he still has five years, and no one does not believe that Lampard will realize his dream.
